Mitochondrial Kv3.4 was more sensitive to CoCl2 and PX-478 (A) Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrated that Kv3.4 co-localizes with mitochondria, and co-localized Kv3.4 decreased after 6 h of 100 µM CoCl2 treatment (green: Kv3.4, red: mitochondria, yellow: co-localization). We assessed five different images in each group (the control and CoCl2 treatment groups) to avoid cherry-picking; representative images are shown. (B) Mitochondrial fractionation demonstrated that Kv3.4 is present in both the mitochondria and cytosol and that mitochondrial 100 kDa Kv3.4 is sensitive to CoCl2 alone or CoCl2 with PX-478 treatment. Kv3.4 (100 kDa) was down-regulated by 4 h of CoCl2 treatment, whereas 4 h of PX-478 pretreatment followed by 4 h of CoCl2 and PX-478 treatment induced the accumulation of Kv3.4. COX-4 and α-tubulin are used as mitochondrial and cytosolic markers, respectively. All experiments were performed in quadruplicate; representative images are shown.
